Didac Aguirre Maldini considers La Liga lost for Real Madrid: why he believes Barça will win it
The reasons Maldini has given for placing Real Madrid second in LaLiga in his predictions
With just a few days left before LaLiga begins, thousands of people have started taking risks with their predictions. Maldini is one of them, surprising everyone by choosing Barcelona as LaLiga champion. According to his own words, Real Madrid won't be able to win this tournament because it's a project under construction.
The arrival of Xabi Alonso and new players has brought significant changes to Real Madrid. Although the club made a great impression at the Club World Cup, this doesn't seem to have been enough for Maldini. One of the factors that has influenced his decision is the relationship between Vinicius and Mbappé, which he considers insufficient.
As we know at Defensa Central, the relationship between both players is more than positive. Even so, Maldini chose the blaugrana club to repeat the LaLiga title after years. A club that, throughout this transfer window, has shown itself to be inferior to Real Madrid.
The true LaLiga champion
Last season presented many problems for a Real Madrid that had an inconsistent performance. Injuries, above all, were a constant for a team whose high level was significantly diminished. Despite this and competing against the supposed "best Barcelona in years," Real Madrid was very close to winning LaLiga.
If with a squad limited by injuries it could have won, now with a reinforced team the confidence is much greater. Xabi Alonso has made it his job, since his arrival, to implement his outstanding playing system to enhance all the players.
Although there are clearly still some doubts, Real Madrid is a better team than last season. The defense has been greatly reinforced with Huijsen, Trent, and Carreras. In addition, signings like Mastantuono or the emergence of Gonzalo García have consolidated the club's attack.
The only way to find out the winner
Although Maldini highlighted the lack of a playmaker, Xabi has assigned this role to Arda Güler. The Turk, with this new prominence, has done nothing but shine in the team. Even though the season will be very long, Real Madrid is ready to return to the throne of Spain.
